Gorman Hall Reviews

Gorman hall is a great option for freshman! It is super close to Franklin Dining, the frats, and downtown Amherst. It is also only 12-15 mins away from the library. The building itself is pretty new, the washer and dryer is horrific though, but the bathrooms are big and have great water pressure. To be honest, because it is an engineering RAP there are not that many girls, so the girls bathroom is always pretty chill. Room size is 50/50, me and my roommate got a pretty small room and our friends got rooms that were probably almost double the size, but it okay. Pretty solid, bottom of the hill, could not ask for more!

Pros: Lower Central and super close to Frank, also the closest dorm to downtown Amherst (only 10-15 minute walk). Relatively new building so rooms and everything are pretty clean. Cons: Only one kitchen on the 1st floor and it's pretty small. Laundry in the basement and no elevator so if you're on the 4th floor its a lot of stairs. Shower stalls only have one door, it's not separated into 2 sections so everything gets wet.
